BASIS PODCAST 024: Ultrastation

With a total experience of 50 years in night life, these two local charmers from Utrecht are completive like yin to yang, Han to Chemie or Kirk to Spock. Ultrastation stuns, bedazzles, spaces out and zones in: they are the living proof of the sum of parts. To infinity and beyond.

Vault Sessions #174 - Ultrastation

Donato Basile AKA DJ Plant Texture always wants his music to tell a story, and with his debut EP on Tresor Records, entitled Life, he’s now trying to tell the biggest story there is.

According to the artist, “Life is about the fear of growing up”; both the anxiety itself and acknowledging and moving past it.

This narrative seems to have struck a chord with those who have heard the track, “People want to reflect themselves in the music; something personal. Lots of people have been in touch after hearing it; I guess they feel something melancholic in it. Personally, I imagine the track is like the life of a person; going from being born through childhood and youth and onwards, so perhaps they hear this?”

Having used an MPC since the early 2000s, Basile feels an intuitive connection to the hardware he uses, and so the creative process is very spontaneous: “I know where everything is so the music is made immediately.  I make everything in the first ten minutes; after that if it’s not right then I just abandon it and start something else.”

This immediacy, and familiarity with his equipment is apparent on the A-side, where Basile’s previous life as a drummer comes to the fore and tracks like Cycles and Ripetivo display his native understanding of groove but also how to stir things up - the three A-side tracks find classic techno rhythms seemingly falling apart only to snap back into place even stronger.

The B-side finds Donato exploring more of his melodic side with WTT and the aforementioned title track showing Plant Texture’s love of breakbeat and classic techno.

The three digital bonus tracks continue this exploration of melody and syncopated beats - The EXP Days echos the wistful feeling of Life, as Basile meditates on the times spent at EXP, his record shop in Bari, which functioned as a meeting place for electronic producers in the area. 

Together the eight tracks show a breadth of knowledge and ability of an artist that has grown older and more experienced over time, and is ready to share his evolution.

PREMIERE: Mystery Kid & Discord - GTA Cruise (Clouzer Remix)

Interview with SLAM https://www.instagram.com/p/DLVNeAGNJTp/?img_index=1

Slam - Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan - are the unapologetic architects of raw, deep, hypnotic techno. As co-founders of Soma Records and hosts of Slam Radio (now surpassing 600 episodes), they’ve shaped underground sound for over 30 years, carving out a legacy as true pioneers and tastemakers.

Their first album in seven years, Dark Channel, erupts from a fierce, three-week live-setup sprint - modular synths, Roland TR-909, Ableton Push and outboard effects - delivering peak-time weapons honed to perfection. From the tribal command of “Use It, Lose It” and the discordant thrust of the title track to the thumping low-end odyssey of lead single “Kulture Version,” every cut is a no-compromise tribute to the dance floor as sanctuary.

In a fractured, dystopian 2025 - where division and disconnection reign - Dark Channel stands defiantly as rhythm-driven resistance. Out now on Soma Records (digital and limited-edition double 12″ vinyl), it’s Slam’s fiercest manifesto yet: a hypnotic journey reminding us that on their airwaves and in their music, unity and release are always possible.

Enjoy this exclusive mix recorded during one of Slam’s Return To Mono parties at the Sub Club in Glasgow earlier this year. Also check out the interview we did with them on IG https://www.instagram.com/p/DLVNeAGNJTp/?img_index=1
